How to enable the OOB info icon next to a custom field which is of reference type

[SAS21]

Have a custom field 'Requester on Behalf' which is of reference type pointing to User table. How to enable the out of the box information icon that will preview the user's details ?

Hello @SAS21 ,

This is a read-only field. That is the reason why the icon is not visible. Make the field editable and the icon will appear.

Or you can add the following attribute to the Dictionary record of this field:

readonly_clickthrough=true

Regards,

Robert

@SAS21 

since the field is readonly the i icon won't be show. that OOTB behavior

make this property to false: 'glide.ui.reference.readonly.clickthrough' -> this will be a global change

add this in the field dictionary attributes if you want to show that

readonly_clickthrough=true

Reference field icon 

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Thanks, the Dictionary record looks the way it should be.

Please also provide the other screen shot I had requested:

"Can you provide a screen shot of the populated reference field that has no (i) icon, as well as how you have configured its Dictionary record?"

Regards,

This is the only configuration for the field at the record producer script end. 

if (producer.x_cyc_portal_requesting_on_behalf_of == 'Yes'){

current.u_req_raised_by = gs.getUserID();

}
